Lismore Kilmoyley match has the potential to be a cracker. Haven't seen odds but I'd slightly favour Kilmoyley. Lismore were very lucky against Newport the last day.

That Kilmoyley village in Kerry is hurling mad! Small village but every man, woman and child will be in Mallow to support them! Past hurler (None) - Posts: 735 - 17/11/2016 13:56:46 1935079 Link 0 |

Keeper it was maybe 12 a couple of years ago or maybe on this years squad, but of the starting 15 probably nine are dual players, It is likely that Slaughneill will have to concentrate on the AI Club Football after Christmas but I would love to see what Slaughneill would bring to the table in the AI Club Hurling Championship if the football was out of the road. They are big, strong, great movement and have very good stick work, the heavy ground of winter would suit them.

its a pity these matches will now be played in the absolute muck and slop for the remainder,oulart v loughlins would have potential to be better than any inter county match in the summer months,unfortunately it will most likely be a muck bath. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 17/11/2016 16:42:11 1935132 Link 0 |

The club doesn't matter to the big lads in the GAA despite what they say. Grass roots? There's no grass left on the pitch!

A pity but the pitches probably wouldn't suit two games. It's a pity these games are played in this weather but if anyone can get to this game it'll be worth the admission fee no doubt

Their final is over unless they are reintroducing a Connacht one! You can enjoy the few days around Paddy's Day with a few pints unless you have a league match! ;)

After flying out of the blocks and racing into an early lead,once again Oulart flatter to deceive in a big game in Leinster and end up well beaten on home soil.Not good enough for an All Ireland and winning another Leinster title seems a long way away.Fair play to O Loughlins and it should be a good Leinster final v Dublin's finest. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 20/11/2016 15:55:49 1935573 Link 0 |

Tony Kelly so good they give motm to someone else. Well done to Cuala, the Galway team will be favourite's to win it out but after them it's anyone's. Cork hurling is in some bad way if that's the best club team they can produce right now shocking bad. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 20/11/2016 16:15:49 1935576 Link 0 |

Thurles will be kicking themselves after seeing a Tony Kelly inspired Ballyea give the Glen a hurling lesson.How Thurles lost that big lead in the dying embers of the semi final in Ennis i'll never know.But Thurles have a habit of losing close games in Munster.Similiar to Oulart in Leinster.Seem to always find a way to lose.Mentally fragile?Unlucky?Not good enough?The latter,i feel. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 20/11/2016 16:44:32 1935583 Link 0 |

You could say that I suppose. They managed to beat the Limerick champions in Limerick. The standard there must be even worse if a Cork team can beat them. Then again a Limerick team won the All Ireland in March so maybe it isn't that bad in Limerick and maybe it isn't that bad in Cork.. It could be that today was a poor performance and a great one from a fine Clare side.

Cork hurling may or may not be in a bad way, but judging it by the club team's performances is hardly the best way. Newtownshandrum were the last Cork club team to win the Munster in 2009, 22 years after previous team- Midleton in 1987. Considering that, the Cork county team won the All-Ireland 4 times and finished runners-up 4 times in the same period.

I would agree with this. If seeding it on performances so far, I'd have Ballyea and O'Loughlin Gaels numbers one and two with St Thomas's about the same or slightly ahead of Cuala. Most of Thomas's players have the experience of winning a club All Ireland though and that experience could prove crucial if they're in a tight match.

Slight correction. Newtownshandrum won three Munster titles in 00s. I don't know why people make silly sweeping conclusions after one result. A Clare team had not won Munster for 16 years before today. What does that say? Nothing really.. A Carlow team reached the All Ireland final three years ago.. Should we conclude then that the standard of hurling overall in Carlow (7 clubs) is higher than say Cork (with 120+ clubs) bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 20/11/2016 19:49:33 1935623 Link 0 |

And reigning All Ireland champions Tipperary haven't won a club All Ireland since 1987 (i think). I was listening to RTE Radio sport today and it was mentioned that there are improvements being seen in Cork City hurling.The Glen have won back-to-back counties.The Glen also won the Feile and got to U15,U16 and U21 latter stages of championship.Amazing what a senior county win can do for the moral of a club.Also,Douglas won the Intermediate. If Cork can get the city buzzing with hurling like it did in the halycon days of the '70s & early '80s we are all in trouble.That is a difficult task,but there are too many shrewd operators down there to remain uncompetetive for too much longer.Cork will be back soon enough.I really have no worries about that. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 20/11/2016 20:46:49 1935634 Link 0 |
